Overwatch 2 first play after release! I was worried because I saw some news of other people running into problems trying to connect to the server but it seems it has been fixed. We got to play a lot of games and even tried out the new hero Kiriko. #トワイライヴ

@DaBlackDefault1 To play overwatch 2 you need a £5000 phone that sucks u dry plus you need to sign up to a blizzard subscription service which costs your SOUL

The new Overwatch is so badly balanced and whole characters either became completely broken or completely useless.

@PlayOverwatch Got booted from game "Unexpected server error occured" then got put to the back of the queue to get into Overwatch. Bit unfair hey?

All of the problems with Overwatch 2, especially the LC-208 error for merging accounts just like they told us to do, has killed all the excitement I had for it, so much so that I’ve uninstalled it. I’ll just wait for Modern Warfare 2 Wait…

@OWAnonymous_ Overwatch not mentioning the DDOS until the end of their post, and then saying it exacerbated issues is admission that the login issues were their fault from the start.

@PlayOverwatch Fix the character locks randomly changing. I’ve been with Overwatch since launch of 1, and on all consoles. After waiting for 6 1/2 hours to get in, my characters were all locked. Second time I logged in, they were unlocked, then third time, they were locked again.

I like overwatch, but it really seems like the only thing they changed was remove the free loot boxes, and then force paying for the battle pass down your throat. That **** clearly worked in just about every f2p live service… right?

@OrdinaryGamers ive had this issue on every single big overwatch update. one would expect blizzard to up their servers game for the big makeover/new game, but i guess not.

@kittnly The overwatch team did admit in the latest update that the ddos attacks are not the cause of the issues, but they have made it much more difficult to fix the issues in a timely manner due to how hard the system is stressed with their addition.

@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent Please, for the love of god, fix the problems with people, that merged their PC accounts with console accounts in Overwatch. I wasn't able to connect to the servers ONCE, the whole time. I just want to play with my friends, man. 😢

Unfortunately OW2 is kinda unplayable rn in terms of grinding ranked. One player dropping from the game every other game, noticeable hit registration issue, audio seems off. On the brightside the game itself plays better than overwatch 1/will be much easier to balence

@NkroPrncss Thats because someone DDOS the servers (so they say) i simply can never play overwatch again 💀👍

So, after complete radio silence, the #OW2 devs are doing jack **** to resolve the issues. We get one update and still no login or missing paid items fix. Keyword PAID. On the upside, our fighting as a community confirmed the plan of prepaid phone allowances #Overwatch #blizzard

I don't play Overwatch but the inclusion of mandatory phone number for Overwatch 2 is the new level of greed and stupidity I've ever seen of all the gaming controversies I know of. What has the phone number got to do with solving whatever problems Activision Blizzard mentioned?

@JustFrenchie4 @cliper112 Maybe it’s the content in the pass that’s the issue? Bc I haven’t played much of the new halo but I didn’t really hear good thing about what it had, I know Overwatch has some pretty mid things rn but I mean it’s not completely bad
